Produktbeschreibung

Demonstrates the range and fluidity of this richly figured genre. Employing memory as her controlling trope, Victoria Aarons analyses the work of the graphic novelists and illustrators, making clear how they extend the traumatic narrative of the Holocaust into the present and, in doing so, give voice to survival in the wake of unrecoverable loss.
